San Angelo police say infant on life support after testing positive for heroin
A 2-month-old girl is on life support at Cook Children's in Fort Worth after she was found unconscious with injection marks and tested positive for heroin, authorities said.
San Angelo police found the infant unconscious Sunday morning at a residence ... officers said she was unresponsive when they arrived at the house. The baby was transported to the Shannon Medical Center for treatment. That's when hospital officials said they assessed the infant and told police that they found injection sites on her extremities and head. They also informed authorities that the infant’s urine tested positive for heroin, according to police.
Detectives said during their investigation, they learned that in August, the infant's mother, 21-year-old Destiney Harbour, gave birth to the girl at the residence. Investigators said Harbour's mother, 37-year-old Christin Bradley, and Bradley’s boyfriend, 34-year-old Dustin Smock, had assisted with the infant’s care inside the home. San Angelo police said Harbour, Bradley, and Smock all face a charge of serious bodily injury to a child, which is a first-degree felony.
Officials said while they were executing a search warrant inside the house, they found drug paraphernalia as well as a small quantity of suspected heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana and pills.
Authorities also discovered that the infant had not received formal medical care since her home birth in August.
